best of REM-EMBERING 2020 ⭐ FINISHED! ✨

[gagacasanova]

Gaga coming out on top

[Tropical]

Omg Cape God and Sawayama love. Allie X really served one of THEE best albums of the year. If I bothered to do an album countdown it would for sure be top 3 for me.

[ARTPØP]

August, Sine From Above, Angels Like You, Bad Friend, Midnight Sky, Physical, Paradisin', Rain On Me 

 

So many good bops here! Loved your list! 

[JGibson]

Caution + Rain On Me top 3 

[Ewan Chaos]

omg your #8 for non-singles this AND last year, Why We Ever and No Drug Like Me I am STANNING sis. Die 4 Ur Love, In Your Eyes, Midnight Sky, Physical, TALENT.

 

PARADISIN' YOUR FAVE RINA SONG YAAAAAAAS. Your top 3 singles are all great too; happy to see Caution snag a spot  

 

Future Nostalgia sharing the same spot as my fave pop/possibly fave album of last year Dedicated, two QUEENS. 

 

Great list my friend! You kill it every year.

[Post Malone]

BL and ROM a 1-2 punch 

[kiiwii]

the absolute taste that i missed out on, whew 

 

FN, SAWAYAMA & Cape God are all so solid + ROM is absolutely deserving of the top spot for singles. 

 

your top 3 for non-singles too  Sarah Come Home is a masterpiece!

[Brandon]

??, ??? + ???????? ?? ??? ??? ?? 

[Lazuli]

i dont use allie x so let me get half of your top 10s out of the way x

GODgust  despite your RANCID thoughts about folklore, at least you came thru with this 

in a dream, take yourself home, why we ever are cute

hmmm sine from above is ok but far from my favourite

bad friend, in your eyes, physical, midnight sky  

paradisin wow... probably bottom half of sawayama for me tbh

caution wow... brave for putting that top 3! 

blinding lights expected, rain on me also kinda expected i guess, can't go wrong with them anyway! 

sawayama  sad it missed #1  

[ikiru]

Sine From Above would be a 10/10 but elton ruins the song miley, dua and the weekend slaying the top 10

wow Allie X snatching the top spot! def my least favorite from your top 4! I enjoyed it but I never really listened to it again besides "Life of the Party" and the Mitski feature The rest of the top 4 is obviously flawless

So because of that I can't really say anything about your top 3 non single songs But I LOVE Paradisin! I feel like the song is highly underrated!

the top 3 singles are great choices! I prefer Blinding Lights over ROM but both of them are fantastic pop songs!

[K$Ellie]

august in the top 10 yup yup, deserved top 5 considering it's only album track tho and that fact that Heighlee placed higher...

In A Dream his best song    Die 4 Ur Love and Take Yourself Home are bops but I don't see them as top 10 of the year

Story is fine, Sine is embarrassing, Angels is v cute  LOVE to see Bad Friend in the top 10, stunning song  deserved to chart as well x

In Your Eyes, Midnight Sky and Physical all nice but I don't stan  Kinda hate SDPP, it's so annoying but I can't be mad at the #1 at all

Paradisin' literally my second least fave on Sawayama jdhgfhjsd but it's cute  top 3 singles... lemme not, Blinding Lights is cute for sure x

Good In Bed over Love Again, I hate gays!!!!!!! Rina slaying all the year end lists  I PRAY you only placed FTW last bc it's an interlude...

Plastic Hearts a cute album but I tad bit too high for me  Allie's was also cute but very underwhelming for me, I guess I can see the appeal x

Absolutely not! Well that's definitely a you problem!

Bahahahahahah!

I feel like you've told me this before, when does my indie era begin!!!  I feel like it was definitely last year with plenty of indie-ish albums on my list + MUNA, Hatchie, King Princess, Caroline, Foals in my top 10 singles. Also Poppy isn't even indie!

Honestly I understand the debate but I'm kinda siding with it being a single

 

Well maybe if you kept up with it instead of taking breaks  and there's recap lists on page 1, post 2! 

pffff those are like the tier one indie girls, call me when you get into Björk x

[geodancefreak]

Omg I am shook by how good your list is. Honestly slayed. 

[TheWayWeWere]

August getting all the acclaim on atrl it's truly one of her all-time bests!

In A Dream it's so magical and dreamy.

Angels Like You NEEDS to be a single!

Bad Friend is ****ing jam, one of my favorite songs from album easily.

In Your Eyes saxophone solo alone >>>>

Midnight Sky and Physical back to back

ROM MAKING #1 YAS, DESERVED SO MUCH

Plastic Hearts should've get #1 on album list  

[Mr. Loco]

august 

I'm so happy In your eyes managed to chart this high! It's really a masterpiece... Blinding lights is also great! 

Physical & Rain on me are also bops! Your #1 was kinda expected tho 

Dua really delivered with her album  Agree Pretty please & Physical are stand-out tracks, Love again is way too low tho

001. Lady Gaga ft. Ariana Grande "Rain On Me"

Talent won

[Green]

Amazing songs in the top 6: Blinding Lights, Rain on Me, Midnight Sky, Physical, Caution, In your eyes. I love them  

 

Non-singles: August, Angels like you 

 

Albums: Future Nostalgia, Plastic Hearts 

[potent]

A few of those songs may have been placed very similarly on mine

I wish Blinding Lights had gotten it but I'm not mad at all about ROM either, and definitely a fitting #1 for your chart

Physical and Caution in the top 4 

IYE made the top 10 too  a nice surprise

Sine from Above is really one of the best on Chromatica, I don't know why some people are dragging it

I did listen to Never Change after you listed it as a highlight from the album  but don't remember it, need to relisten

FN is great of course, too bad you have Love Again and Cool so low though  and I know you didn't hate BWBB (I think), but I wish everyone wasn't ranking it last  I liked it

[Alldeezy]

plastic hearts was def one of the best pop albums this year :D im glad to see it this high <3 im happy I heard night crawler and plastic hearts earlier this year <3

Also I just saw ROM as your #1   Too much taste especially with Blind Lights Top 2 as well

alaska sucks though

rain on me is a choice for the #1. paradisin' is very good!

literally love all the albums in your top 4 but the #1  collxtion i still remains her only good work

Yeah I'm not big fans of them after they ended up red in the election!

A great choice! And absolutely!

ONLY??

Ahhhh, In Your Eyes and Physical were SOOOO good! Glad to see them so high on your list.

They should be high on everyone's lists

Idk this Allie girl, but I'll check it out.

 

Plastic Hearts is better than Future Nostalgia? Hmm, boy, nooo...

Not sure if you'll love her, it's truly a 50/50 with your ass. But her first 3 projects are gayer than Cape God so if that appeals more to you...

 

No it's true, it's true!

On 12/20/2020 at 6:25 PM, BlackoutZone said:

The way you just said "let me get done with this chile..."

BUT YES you know how I feel about all 4 albums already, considering how underappreciated Cape God is here I can't be mad at it winning  It's honestly her best work since CXI if not EVER!

Wait what do you mean?  I'm moving at a normal pace + I always reveal my singles top 10 like that!

Good  Honestly her discography is way too good but I might rank it CXII > CG? = SS? > CXI

PARADISIN' YOUR FAVE RINA SONG YAAAAAAAS

 

Great list my friend! You kill it every year.

And both are the best songs from those albums mmm delicious! Love to see someone else that enjoys Die 4 Ur Love  Paradisin' has always been a favorite of mine ahh and I always imagine a sick music video with it, dancing in the Tokyo streets and s**t

 

Oh thank you  I try!

wow Allie X snatching the top spot! def my least favorite from your top 4!  I enjoyed it but I never really listened to it again besides "Life of the Party" and the Mitski feature 

But I LOVE Paradisin! I feel like the song is highly underrated!

I don't know why everyone likes to hate on his part, he brings the drama & his voice isn't bad!

Wow not my trinity getting paid dust like that

It definitely is! And I don't know why because it is absolute earcandy

Why We Ever is gorgeous, eat me!

Idk about best song but it's pretty close!

Yeah that was my bad hehe

Ummm what's up with that ..... ANYWAY [x2]

Plastic Hearts should've get #1 on album list  

Oh for sure!
Oh for sure!

Oh for SURE! A potential classic on her hands

The scores for my top 2 were significantly higher and it's still so new, so that wasn't even possible

Right! Should've been another megasmash for him

Yeah I know  But oh well, ROM still deserved!

I think #10 is a perfect spot for it

Oop, here for Physical and Blinding Lights getting spots in your top 5?

I actually had it a spot higher but decided to move MIley up in its place.

Some of them have complaints about Elton's vocals and I'm sure others hate the outro

Never Change is sooo good! For some reason I connect to it Panic!'s "Collar Full" which I also love  

Yeah I don't hate BWBB, but there's no other track that deserves to be placed last

You should definitely give it a shot! Plus if you love Troye, she's written on several songs of his.

and wow you stan Ungodly hr and Kids again!

Physical AND FN not making top 3 is a choice..

How could I not!!!

Oops, didn't realize I put her at #4 on both of those lists Poor ha

 

I wasn't planning on taking a break yesterday but I was too lazy/tired/stressed to update  At least it

gave some people a chance to catch up so that's good. This ceremony should definitely be wrapped up on

Christmas Eve - but before that, we have 9 categories to go! (Don't worry, they're all small + the last 4 are just last.fm stats.)

 

 

MINI CATEGORIES || PART III

 

 

BIGGEST GROWER (SONG)

Selena Gomez "Let Me Get Me"

So apparently every year the winner of this category is always gonna be something that started out weak

and then blossomed into an album highlight.  This song makes some interesting production choices

that are rather ambitious for her standards (such as the "AAAooOOoo" parts) and it eventually went from

"What am I listening to?" to "Oh, I know what I'm listening to "

Last Year~ Caroline Polachek "Hit Me Where It Hurts"

 

 

BIGGEST GROWER (ALBUM)

Taylor Swift 'folklore'

I don't know why but ever since reputation, every Taylor release has required an extra listen or 2 (or in this case,

3) before I can say it's filled with highlights. The last 2 songs still don't do much for me but I'd say some of

the main tracks that I needed more time with were the 1, cardigan, mirrorball and illicit affairs.

Last Year~ Melanie Martinez 'K-12'

 

 

BEST MUSIC VIDEO

Dua Lipa "Physical"

Directed by Lope Serrano & Nicolás Méndez

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HDEHj2yzew

2nd: The Weeknd "In Your Eyes" || 3rd: Dua Lipa "Break My Heart"
Last Year~ Taylor Swift ft. Brendon Urie "ME!"

[BlackoutZone]

Ah Dua snatching another win   Love BMH and Physical nearly equally, but I would also choose Physical I think, it goes really well with the song

 

And damn your ranking..  CXI = CG > CXII >>>> SS (BUT Science is a huge career highlight)

[TalkThatRihanna]

I never liked Let Me Get Me and still don’t nn

 

But folklore is a good pick for grower
